I kind of like the wrinkles. Fits the identity of a hard working, lunch bucket team.

No, you’re not. As far as I can tell, you’re unhappy that he hasn’t given you anything new to moan and groan about. So unhappy, in fact, that you will take any excuse to dust off your old moans and groans and reuse them.

An interview with a knowledgable guy like Kerr, who can ask followups and engage in a conversation is 10X more valuable than the stupid perss conferences of the Oilers, which is all puffball or gotcha questions, and deflected answers (with little to no chance of following up unless another reporter takes up the task).

I disagree that there wasn't much said. There were interesting tidbits about "metrics" they look at, about sitting down with Johnny after he blew a tire and (sorta) caused a goal to reassure him that it was the correct play.

I wish he hadn't said "process" (Oileresque) and that he hadn't mixed the dyke metaphor with another one (I forget what but it bugged me at the time).

Well, Engelland and Bolland have probably been the worst two players on the team who are dressing more games than they're not. One easily the worst defenceman and the other easily the worst forward.

And the point of rehashing this now is…?

I suppose because it's in part a thread about our GM, and those are two of a handful of moves he's made.

I didn't bring it up.

You could just as easily argue that the wrinkles fit the identity of a team that doesn’t care about details and won’t take the time to do the little things properly.

When did we get Bolland?

Really? Because to me it screams of incompetence, laziness and no attention to detail.

If this were Edmonton, fans would demand that management be rolled up in the back drops and deposited in the river!
